This block was introduced in V1.074.
The Oxygen Tank is a functional Block available for Small Ships, Large Ships and Stations.
It is used to store and distribute breathable Oxygen.
If connected to a Conveyor Network via one of the inventory access points, the oxygen tank can automatically pull in oxygen from attached oxygen sources (like other oxygen tanks, oxygen generators, oxygen farms) to store and provide oxygen to Air Vents or other oxygen tanks in the network.
If set to "Stockpile" in the control panel, an oxygen tank will store oxygen that gets provided to it through the conveyor network, but will not deliver it back into the network when requested by other blocks. (for example by an air vent).
An oxygen tank can be used to refill Oxygen Bottles by placing empty or partly filled O2 bottles into the O2 tanks inventory and either clicking "Refill bottles" or activating the control panel option "Auto-Refill".
If a room should be depressurized by an air vent, there must be oxygen tanks present in the conveyor network that have still enough free storage space to hold the pumped down oxygen in compressed state.
Indicator
The colored indicators on the tank show at a glance the current oxygen level inside the tank.
Game version: 1.107
 |
Oxygen Tank is not stockpiling and can be drained. 0: O2 level < 25%, 1: 25% <= O2 level < 50%, 2: 50% <= O2 level < 75%, 3: O2 level > 75%, 4: Tank full. |
 |
Oxygen Tank is set to Stockpile. The tank will not release any oxygen and will drain other tanks that are not stockpiling. 0: O2 level < 25%, 1: 25% <= O2 level < 50%, 2: 50% <= O2 level < 75%, 3: O2 level > 75%, 4: Tank full. |
 |
Oxygen Tank deactivated or unpowered. |
Capacities
Game version: 1.078.009
| Large grid oxygen tank | 100,000 O2 |
| Small grid oxygen tank | 50,000 O2 |
Programming
Programming in the program block.
Interface name: IMyOxygenTank
Known Issues
- Unlike cargo containers the actual cargo of the oxygen tank does not in anyway influence it's mass. Therefore the large block tank will ALWAYS have a mass of 3.1 tons whether its completely full of oxygen or not.
